purchased five bottles of POUR Hop
Bitters of Bishop & Co. last fall, for my
daughter, and am we'll pleased with the
Bitters. They did her more good than
all the medicine she has taken for six
years. VIM. T. MCCLURE.
The above is from very reliable far
mer, whose daughter was in poor health
for seven or eight years, and could obtain
no relief until she used Hop Bitters. She
is now in as good health as any person in
this country. We have large sales, and
they are making remarkable cures.

81 GENTLEMEN:-Ne Nearly all winter was
confined to my room with inflammatory
rheumatism. I commenced using DR..
Pardee's Rheumatic Remedy, but after
taking it for a time the pain became more
intense, and was alarmed and feared
the remedy was making me worse, but
continued its use and soon the pain left
me, and I gradually improved, the sore
ness leaving my arms and shoulders and
seeming to pass out at my toes. It has
completely cured me-. At the time I
commenced using the remedy I had a
throat difficulty and the catarrh, which I
found to be better after taking it, and it
occurred to me to use it as a gargle,
which did, and to my great satisfaction
I improved rapidly, and to-day am free
from both rheumatism and catarrh. T
consider it Indispensable as a family
medicine. I take one teaspoonful after
breakfast and find it splendid tonic.
I would advise you to recommend it as a
gargle for throat troubles and catarrh,
for know it will cure. I have seen some
remarkable cures from the use of this
remedy, and it is one I can recommend
to all. .tt

In the winter 81 1879 was attacked Will,

assesses over and around my neck and throat,
continually exuding an offensive mass Of
bloody matter disgusting to behold, and
almost intolerable to endure. It Is impossible
to fully describe my sufferings, as the case
was complicated with Chronic Catarrh. After
three years Of misery, having been treated BY
/ three physicians, was worse than ever.
Finally, on the recommend dalton Of W. j.
Huntley, druggist, Of Lock port, Twas induced
to try Hoods Sarsaparilla. And now, after
having taken twelve bottles, within the last
I twelve months, the scrofulous eruptions have
entirely ceased, and the assesses have ali
disappeared, except the unsightly scars which
are daily becoming smaller by degrees and
beautifully less. do not know what it NAV

Wanted to be a Widow.

An Oakland, CAL, young lady, Miss,
frankie Brown, fell heir on the death
of her father some years ago to a COM
Portable fortune Of perhaps $4,000.
frankie yearned for the approach of
the day when she should become ofage,
and chafed under the restraint of a
legal guardian until last October, when
she was eighteen years old. With her
fortune in her own hands she began to
expend it in extravaganza living and
wild but expensive fancies. Meeting a
dashing widow she at once envied the
freedom and abandon which widow
hood seemed to confer upon her new
acquaintance, and resolved to be a
widow herself. She accordingly con-
suited doctor in San Francisco and
asked for an introduction to one of his
patients who had but a brief time to
live. The doctor knew of a consump-
tive printer with the chances against
him of surviving more than a week at
best. Miss Brown said she would pay
the physicians bill of 500 for attend
ance on the sick man, and the introduce
ton was given and the parties mar
ried. The husband, however, to
Frankie's great alarm, began to re-
cover, and now manifests no symp-
toms of an intention to shake off his
mortal coil. The unwilling wife
sought lawyer, and is now engaged
in trying to undo the complication in
which her desires to be a widow in
volved her.

Miss Faithful on Woma ms Work.

Miss Emily Faithful in letter to the
London Daily Neaos gives some sound
advice on the subject of the employ
ment of women. The subject is one on
which the flow of talk is indeed contin-
uous, but neither sound nor helpful.
Miss Faithful goes straight to the root
of the matter. Three points she OBJ
serves, should be insisted upon: [1)
the need of definite training fer girls;
(2) the best work at fair market prices
must be given; (3) senseless social
prejudices must be abandoned. The
first condition is the most important; if
that is secured the rest will follow.
An employment for which regular
training has been undergone. is gener-
ally respected; witness the change in
the status of women teachers since
higher education became possible. A
trained worker and she only, can offer
the kind of work which commands the
market price; the work of the unframed
is only paid for as charity, and the fig
ure is sure to be low. But as Miss
Faithful justly complains, '.unhappily
most ladies begin to work when they
require money to live on, and youth and
hope have fled. :
tits then too late for training, and em-
ploymentis often to be gained only
after hunliliating entreaties, while pay
ment is given grudgingly on account OF
the ineficiency of the work done OF the
unbusinesslike habits Of the. worker.
Now, businessiike habits and the power
of regular steady work are only to be
gained by trimming. and if women s
work is to rise above the dillettante
standard they must follow the only
possible road to success by due and care
full preparation. All are compelled to
hear from time to time dismal stories 81
women Of gentle birth and nature re-
duced to poverty and helpless to extri-
cate themselves from its miseries. The
unavoidable conclusion is that parents
wonld do we'll to prevent the possibility
Of such smisfortunes by encouraging
their daughters to qualify themselves
while young for following some trade OF
profession. Then, as Miss Faithful re-
marks, we must cast aside social pref
udices. The teaching profession is said
to be oyefcroWded. Commercial life
may offer a better chance, and il the
fear Of losing social position were bold.
